Christian,
You should be able to use EnergyPlus to accomplish this. You need to use
the Low Temp Radiant System:Hydronic in conjuction with a Construction With
Internal Source. The example files include several idfs using this system,
such as RadLoTempHydrCtrlOpt.idf. For help with the input, refer to the
Input-Output reference. The Engineering Reference includes an extensive
explanation of this model.
